At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search, empowering 17,000+ businesses to deliver blazing-fast, predictive search and browse experiences at internet scale. Every week, we power over 30 billion search requests — four times more than Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo combined.
In 2021, we raised $150 million in Series D funding, quadrupling our valuation to $2.25 billion. This strong foundation enables us to keep investing in our market-leading platform and serving incredible customers like Under Armour, PetSmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens.
We’re looking for a Security Controls & Compliance Manager to own the day-to-day operation and continuous improvement of our security control and compliance framework.
This role sits at the intersection of security, IT, and business systems, ensuring that controls are not only well-designed, but consistently executed, evidenced, and audit-ready.
You will work closely with internal teams across infrastructure, data, legal, and security to ensure we can continuously demonstrate compliance across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, C5, and emerging standards like ISO 42001.
This is a hands-on role with management responsibility, suited to someone who enjoys turning complex operational environments into clear, measurable, and auditable systems.
This role is key to ensuring that Algolia’s security controls are not just defined, but consistently operating and provable. You’ll help build a system where compliance is continuous, efficient, and aligned with how the business actually runs.
